From your own link (great source!), it says that the expenditures on instruction are, respectively, $7714 and $7073 per student per year. But Detroit spends much more on support services and food services. > If money were the solution why is Detroit not on par with Dearborn despite Detroit spending 30% more per student?

Even if more money was the solution, I don't know why 30% more would be the magic number.
